Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Ouroboros-ai versions before 0.42.1 are vulnerable. An incomplete fix for CVE-2026-47211 left several execution-routing keys out of the untrusted `.env` denylist, and the working-directory MCP roster was also auto-loaded. A user who runs Ouroboros inside a malicious cloned repository can therefore have arbitrary commands executed, and can also weaken the approval gate. Upgrade to 0.42.1, which adds the missing keys and removes cwd auto-discovery. Until then, do not run Ouroboros from untrusted repository directories, and remove any project `.env` and `./.ouroboros/mcp_servers.yaml` first.
